Good news, bad news day for running backs

IRVING – Running back Felix Jones won’t hit the field until training camp in late July after undergoing offseason surgery on his right shoulder, coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday.

“He’s done a really good job within the parameters that our medical staff has given him,” Garrett said. “He looks in good shape. He can’t catch a ball yet, so that’s an issue, but he’s running routes on air.”

There is good news for the Cowboys on the running back front: Second-year pro DeMarco Murray looks to be fully recovered from last December’s ankle surgery.

“I felt great,” Murray said. “I have been feeling great. I have been doing everything in the past month and a half 100 percent. No limitations. I’m feeling good out there.”
